venus nevermind Poems

listen, now—
you nevermind
what the past says
my alarm clock is set to love
...

I’m cleaning the house today, love,
because it’s snowing outside
and that I understood when you said
this was wrong
...

my problem is that i try to hold onto slippery things.
and you are an eel
at three in the afternoon, or in the early morning, it’s always the same:
the sting that lingers on my skin is your devotion to me
...
